Thirteen

Price: ~~$14.98~~

Sale: $7.12

Manufacturer: 20th Century Fox

Description: A gut-wrenching portrait of adolescence, Thirteen is made all the more powerful because it was co-written by a genuine teenage girl, Nikki Reed, who also co-stars in the movie. Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood), a serious good student, finds herself needing to express her anger and resentment at her fractured family life. To rebel, she pursues a friendship with the reckless, alluring Evie (Reed), who seems to have all the cocksure freedom that Tracy desires. What follows is both harrowing and compelling: Tracy becomes enmeshed in a relationship with Evie that empowers Tracy and drags her deeper into the misery she wants to escape--and terrifies her mother (Holly Hunter), who struggles desperately to hold on to her daughter's love. Thirteen makes every step on this path utterly convincing, due to the vivid script, energized direction, and astonishingly alive performances from Hunter, Reed, and especially Wood. Jolting, sad, and mesmerizing. --Bret Fetzer

Description: Director Marita Giovanni's gay romantic comedy suffers all the earmarks of low-budget cinema--some uncertain performances, pedestrian plotting, and a bad theme song--and, despite some comic observation, never completely recovers from them. Loretta (Nancy Allison Wolfe) and Rachael (Liza D'Agostino) meet at a lesbian pit stop in Los Angeles, fall in love, and cause each other misery. Wolfe, playing a Woody Allen-ish neurotic, has a way with screenwriter Lauran Hoffman's wit and supplies most of the film's passing pleasures. The characters' emotions, however, soon seem to change from second to second: the pair hooks up scant minutes after the opening, then spends every following moment running romantically hot-and-cold. Somewhere around the halfway point the film loses its mind, with off-key dramatics and some truly awful therapeutic dialogue (Loretta realizes "I really want to love me"). This may be an ode to human fickleness, but it's woefully out of control in these hands. --Steve Wiecking

Description: Toby Wong (Mark Dacascos) is on a martial arts mission impossible. With a bio-energy module placed in his chest, Toby's awesome martial arts skills are tuned to a super-human level. The only problem is that Toby doesn't want the power. Now, only an army can stop him, and that's just what's hunting him down. As he makes his escape from an ammo-packing posse of hitmen, Toby needs a hostage, Malik (Kadeem Hardison) to drive him to freedom in Los Angeles. It's double-power Jackie Chan-like super moves as the two unlikely heroes face-off with a new advanced killer in this amazing high octane hyper-action movie.
